Lessons from the Great Covid Cover-Up
Rand Paul
The Covid cover-up began in China. But in a way we make too big a deal of that. No one should be surprised that a totalitarian government run by the Chinese Communist Party would seek to cover up its responsibility for a worldwide pandemic. What was mind-jarring – and what we should focus our attention on – is the cover-up in our own country spearheaded by Dr. Anthony Fauci and his fellow public health bureaucrats. And they might have gotten away with their deception if a federal judge hadn’t ordered their emails released.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion – and the Elimination of Jews
Philip Carl Salzman
All of our institutions – government, education, media, professions, and industry – are formally and fully committed to “social justice,” the explicit specifics of which are diversity, equity, and inclusion, with the quiet part being the elimination of Jews. The quiet part is not often said explicitly, except during the infamous “Israel Apartheid Week” celebrations at our universities. But after Hamas's sadistic atrocities against Israelis on 7 October, the widespread and enthusiastic celebrations on American campuses and in our streets shouted out the quiet part.
Rethinking the Civil Service
Glenn Harlan Reynolds
America’s institutions need structural reform. We need it in academia, we need it in the corporate world, and we need it in government. In all of these fields, the structures, incentives, and institutions that have grown up over time have been destructive, and need to be fundamentally transformed. I’ll be writing about all of these things down the line, but for now let’s start with government. Though you don’t hear a lot about it on the right, the left is all bent out of shape over the prospect that a Republican administration elected in 2024 might partially deconstruct the existing protected civil service. I, on the other hand, am excited about that prospect, and only wish they’d go farther.
Welcome to the World of Minority Contracting
Judge Glock
For the past few years, Atlanta has been roiled by corruption scandals centering on the city’s decades-old program to favor minority-owned businesses in government contracting. The troubles started when Elvin “E. R.” Mitchell, Jr., a black contractor, began paying what became more than $1 million in bribes to city official and friend of the mayor Reverend Mitzi Bickers. Mitchell and his associates wanted to ensure that they could keep winning city-favored contracts and subcontracts for minorities, despite submitting bids higher than their competitors’.
America Would Be a Better Place If
We Taught the Truth About Slavery

Kathleen Brush
Liberal Whites wallowing in revisionist histories have made Whites the racist pariahs of the world, and Americans are ranked the worst. Americans have themselves to blame. They can't stop talking about slavery and racism, and now neither can African Americans. If woke educators have their way, all African Americans, present and future, will be obsessed with slavery and racism because it will be the center of American history. This will destroy America's ability to hold together as a nation.
The World of the Left is Like a Well-Used Litter Box
Kat Stansell — American Policy Center
Anyone who has ever had pet cats will understand this reference immediately. If you have not, try to extrapolate, and take my word for a few things. The box can contain some pretty ugly “surprises”. It may look only slightly used on the surface, but when you dig…well, you know. The Left is proud of their foul droppings but hides them so we can’t see. Apparently they don’t comprehend how much the rest of us can smell. Or , aren’t concerned if we do. Let me elaborate.
Critical Race Theory:
What It Is and How to Fight It

Christopher F. Rufo – Imprimis, Hillsdale College
Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it – and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it. In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism.
Poverty, the Compassion Cartel, and Environmental Racism
Tom DeWeese
If the self-proclaimed compassion industry had true concern for the poor, it  would begin an international drive to empower the poor by allowing them to build their own wealth – thereby getting themselves off of the breadlines.
2 Plus 2 Equals Whatever My Truth or Lived Experience Says It Is
Clifford Humphrey
What is two plus two? Well, as it turns out, it depends. “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” This statement was the “thoughtcrime” of Winston Smith, the protagonist in George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” Though not yet a thoughtcrime in the real world, this statement is increasingly suspect.
America’s Cold Civil War
Charles R. Kesler
Six years ago I wrote a book about Barack Obama in which I predicted that modern American liberalism, under pressures both fiscal and philosophical, would either go out of business or be forced to radicalize. If it chose the latter, I predicted, it could radicalize along two lines: towards socialism or towards an increasingly post-modern form of leadership. Today it is doing both.
We Must Stop Suffering Fools
Modern society cannot afford the costs of
giving them the power and prestige they demand

James E. Smith, Ph.D.
It is clear to a growing number of us that we as a society have sat too long letting people who have perfected the art of stupid continue to add ever increasing levels of nonsense to our already busy lives, through accident, oversight, ignorance, laziness, personal gain, or just plain self-entitlement. Letting “stupid” continue, with no relief or recourse, is affecting our home, social and work environment, our creative and innovative talents, and the governance we expect and subject ourselves to.
Points of Reference - Updatedtysk
"It then should also follow that it is the height of hubris for anyone to state with certainty that they know or understand what is going on in the minds of foreign leaders or their citizens."
How A Generation Lost Its Common Culture
Patrick Deneen, Ph.D.
My students are know-nothings. They are exceedingly nice, pleasant, trustworthy, mostly honest, well-intentioned, and utterly decent. But their brains are largely empty, devoid of any substantial knowledge that might be the fruits of an education in an inheritance and a gift of a previous generation. They are the culmination of western civilization, a civilization that has forgotten nearly everything about itself, and as a result, has achieved near-perfect indifference to its own culture.
The Key Facts About Slavery That the Left Conveniently Ignores
Walter E. Williams   
As David P. Forsythe wrote in his book, “The Globalist,” “The fact remained that at the beginning of the 19th century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom.” While slavery constitutes one of the grossest encroachments on human liberty, it is by no means unique or restricted to the Western world or United States, as many liberal academics would have us believe.
The Experiment: Capitalism versus Socialism
David R. Legates, PhD.
Experimentation is a major tool in the scientist’s arsenal. We can put the same strain of bacteria into two Petri dishes, for example, and compare the relative effects of two different antibiotics. What if we could do the same with economic systems? Wait – we already did.
Why Civil Liberties are No Longer Defended?
SARTRE
When looking back from the perspective of the 1800’s America, the experience in the 20th and certainly the 21th centuries, has been a consistent and total repudiation of the underpinnings of civil liberties. With the widespread rejection of natural law, the secular humanism of the worldly culture has replaced the time tested and well-grounded principles that are the basis of Western Civilization.
The Threat We Face
David Horowitz
The fact that I had a radical past allowed me to see much of this coming. But even I never thought we would be looking so soon at the prospect of a one-party state. Those words may sound hyperbolic, but take a moment to think about it… The good news is that the bad five years we have just been through have aroused a sleeping giant among Americans who didn't see it coming and couldn't imagine that it would.
The Miracle of Freedom
Ted Cruz
In the history of mankind, freedom has been the exception. Governed by kings and queens, human beings were told that power starts at the top and flows down; that their rights emanate from a monarch and may be taken away at the monarch’s whim. The British began a revolution against this way of thinking in a meadow called Runnymede in 1215.
Calvin Coolidge and the Moral Case for Economy
Amity Shlaes
With the federal debt spiraling out of control, many Americans sense an urgent need to find a political leader who is able to say “no” to spending. Yet they fear that finding such a leader is impossible. Conservatives long for another Ronald Reagan. But is Reagan the right model? An alternative model for conservatives is Calvin Coolidge.
Man, Sex, God, and Yale
Nathan Harden
I graduated from Yale in 2009, fifty-nine years after [William F.] Buckley. I had a chance to meet him a couple of years before his death, at a small gathering at the home of a professor. Little did I know at the time that I would write a book of my own that would serve, in some ways, as a continuation of his famous critique [God & Man at Yale].
The Roots of Liberalism and Conservatism
Paul Shlichta
[...] liberals believe that the common herd needs shepherds to guide it. This is in keeping with the doctrines of evolutism; some of us will be more evolved than the rest and will be the fittest leaders. Therefore, despite constant professions of universal equality, liberalism is essentially elitist and tends, as Djilas pointed out, to produce a class system of its own.
Throw 'Em All Out...And Good Riddance!
J.R. Dunn
Crony capitalism is the most serious current danger to the American community, a threat not simply to government or the economy, but to our very way of life... If it's not explicitly forbidden, then it's allowed. So Congress, both houses, along with the bureaucracies, and the little layers of government all the way down to Yourtown, are populated by relentless loophole miners.
Remember January 3, 2007
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
The Democrat Race Lie
Bob Parks
Historical timeline exposing the actual record of Democrat pro-slave/anti-civil rights actions and the efforts for repeal by the Republicans from 1858 to present day.
Example: “I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother, or any kin to me whatever” —Sen. Stephen Douglas (D-IL), Democratic Party 1860 presidential nominee, Oct. 13, 1858.
American Citizens and the Drift from First Principles
Matthew May
This conditioned begging for the attention of Washington ... is symptomatic of a citizenry that has lost its moorings. It is a misapplication of the basic reasons for and functions of government. It is a perversion of the phrase self-government. The more we expect our problems to be solved by distant central planners, the farther we drift from that which made our nation unique and the reason for its existence.
The Men Who Killed New York
Brendan O'Neill
What was once the most exciting city on the planet has turned into the world capital of health-obsessed control-freakery. New York is currently governed by a gaggle of health-obsessed bigwigs who believe they have a duty to grab New Yorkers by the scruffs of their outsized necks and drag them towards lives of bicycle-riding, non-smoking, booze-avoiding, fruit-snacking conformity.
Dependence Day
On the erosion of personal liberty.

Mark Steyn
If I am pessimistic about the future of liberty, it is because I am pessimistic about the strength of the English-speaking nations, which have, in profound ways, surrendered to forces at odds with their inheritance. “Declinism” is in the air, but some of us apocalyptic types are way beyond that.
The Game of Freedom
Daniel Greenfield
[The] game is played in various forms throughout the world. It isn't limited to a stadium or a particular season. The game is about power. Different factions contend for it. Eventually one faction gets it and then the game is over for a while, until there's a revolution or a coup. The difference in our version of the game is that none of the teams is actually supposed to win the game. That's why we have the rules that we do.
The State Despotic
Mark Steyn
Montesquieu’s prediction that “in Europe the last sigh of liberty will be heaved by an Englishman” seemed self-evident after the totalitarian enthusiasms of the Continent in the twentieth century. Today? The last sigh will be heaved by England’s progeny, in the United States, or perhaps, given the galloping ambition of twenty-first-century American statism, in Australia.
Obama, Alinsky, and Scapegoats
James Lewis
‘Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It.’
–Saul Alinsky, “Rules for Radicals”
That's what Barack Obama taught his ACORN followers in all his Community Agitator classes in Chicago. That slogan defines mob scapegoating, of course. It is an exact prescription for whipping up mobs – by race, by gender, by ethnicity, by religion.
Do You Want True UN Reform?
Tom DeWeese
People are eternal optimists. Most believe that, if we can just sit down and talk – then we can solve all the world’s problems. The United Nations has been sold to the American people as such a place where nations could voluntarily gather to air their differences.
Socialism-Communism-Democratism –
What's the difference?
Part I

George M. Haddad
The advent of the socialistic/communistic tenets of Karl Marx and their direct implementation by Lenin and Stalin has been a slow but steady political process in our country.
Socialism-Communism-Democratism –
What's the difference?
Part II

George M. Haddad
During and since Roosevelt the socialist and communist minded have infiltrated our government from top to bottom and have held heavy sway in the direction of what was once the Democrat party.
Classics and War
Victor Davis Hanson
If our students and professors today would study the Classics, they might rediscover the origins of their culture — and in doing so learn that we are not even remotely akin to the Taliban or the Saudis, but are in fact profoundly different in the manner we craft our government, treat our women, earn our living, and set the parameters of our religion.
Who Suffers at the hands of the Race Hustlers?
George M. Haddad
Here are a people who at one time had ancestors become slaves by the accident of conquering tribes and birth and yet today are responsible and accountable for the self imposed corral into which they have enslaved themselves.
Déjà vu on the Brink of War
Alan Caruba
Today, as it was in the 1930s, gangsters rule Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, and, Saudi Arabia, to name just a few nations of the Middle East. They must be restrained and removed from power. It is the only way to avoid years of terrorism and war.
Saul Alinsky and DNC Corruption
Diane Alden
The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.
The Death Of Rational Thought
Most people have never even tried to read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, nor the prolific writings of our nation's founders that clearly explain precisely what those who wrote, debated, and ratified those documents actually meant and intended, and why.
A Radical Transformation
Former '60s Agitator David Horowitz Has Changed His Politics,
But Not His Tone
"My personal odyssey has given me much less respect for intellectuals," says Horowitz. "I respect street smarts. I have the disposition to be a battering ram."
The Way Out of the Wilderness
I believe that we are in the wilderness, that we are in the wilderness because of too many lies told and too many lies believed, and that, if left unchecked, this habit of untruth will destroy us.
A Eulogy for the Civil Rights Movement
What used to be a movement of Civil Rights has become a movement of "Civil Retribution." Intimidation and extortion is encouraged from high levels of so-called "civil rights" organizations.
Speaking The Unspeakable
Jesse Jackson would do better to stage his protests in the Sudan where people of color still sell other people of color to yet other people of color. Perhaps, he feels slavery is like incest - okay as long as you keep it in the family.
The Battle of Evil Empire
President Reagan's Evil Empire Speech, often credited with hastening the end of Soviet totalitarianism, almost didn't happen.
Exterminating Ellsworth
by David C. Adams
"His chief weapon is mockery. A great, all-embracing nihilistic ridicule. Allow nothing to remain sacred in a man's soul."
Mincing Down the Aisle in - The New Vermont
It's Against the Law to Marry Your Sister but Okay to Marry Your Brother
by Norman Liebmann
Same sex marriage is an attack on Christian civilization, and it is no wonder Bill Clinton should lead that attack - inasmuch as no one ever accused him of being either Christian or civilized.
The Worst Of The Century
by Thomas Sowell
While it may be too close to call as to who deserves the "honor" of being the worst of the worst in this century, what is painfully clear is that these leaders all shared at least one characteristic that is still powerful -- the ability to use words and manipulate emotions as a means of getting control of the levers of political power.
The Moral Promise of Freedom
by Doc. Ron Paul (R-TX)
A government that governs by fear alone eventually finds itself unable to govern at all.
The Real "Agnes Of God"
The Federalist
"The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign. ... You must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to this truth." - Mother Teresa
Elitists Don't Learn From History
By Jon Dougherty
"One lesson of history the elite of every society refuse to learn is that the more tyrannical they become towards the people, the more the people's will to resist grows."
Staying free is the biggest problem
young Americans will face
by Charlie Reese
"The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon," the villain explains.
Hey, Kids! Don't Read This!
by Jonathan Rauch
"... when baby boom parents and their elected representatives in Washington set out to protect "children" of, say, age 16 or 17, things get peculiar."
Globalism, Neo-Tribalism And False Reality
by Graham L. Strachan
Brock Chisolm, former Director of the (United Nations) World Health Organization, is quoted as saying, "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men, their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism and religious dogmas."
Toward the Total State
by William Norman Grigg
"... those who want to change society must change man’s consciousness, and that in order to accomplish this they must first control the institutions by which that consciousness is formed: schools, universities, churches, and, perhaps above all, art and the communications industry."
Points of Referencetysk
"It then should also follow that it is the height of hubris for anyone to state with certainty that they know or understand what is going on in the minds of foreign leaders or their citizens."
